Congatulations to °C-ute for winning “Best New Artist” at the recent 49th Japan Record Awards. I was really impressed to see a band who’s ages range from 11 to 15 win an award that is hotly contested by many bands. When I heard the news, I thought it would be appropriate to head over to Youtube and listen to one of their songs. The first song that popped up on the Youtube search was “Ookina Ai de Motenashite”. Whilst I’m not totally sure if this translation is 100% correct, I believe it means “We’re going to kill music for three minutes”. Or something.
Here’s the video. Watch it, stem the bleeding from your ears then return. I want us to be on the same page here.
I did warn you. This is quite literally the worst music ever.
These are children! Why are their parents allowing them to become figures of international loathing? Beloved by Japanese school kids but absoloutly nobody else! Imagine if you were a parent of one of these kids and you wanted to take them on holiday. Where are you going to take them? If you visit England you can rest assured I’m going to tape you to a rocket and blast you to the moon. Even then I still wouldn’t be able to get the horror of Ookina Ai de Motenashite out of my head. If I formed a band with my friends asnd made music like this my parents would shoot me. I’d thank them for it. Frankly this lapse of judgement has gone on long enough. Stop the insanity!
If you enjoyed the song, please leave a comment including your name, address and what time you’d like me to come round and beat you with a spanner. Many thanks.

At least they are better than SMAP…
Whilst SMAP are hardly musical gods I can’t believe anyone would prefer these zombies to them. Plus they did those hilareous Pocari Sweat adverts.
Thank you for your kind offer of a good beating with a spanner. One normally has to pay good money for that kind of service.
Boris Johnson: Indeed, it’s a terrible world we live in :( I dream of free spanner beatings for all.
I should take that spanner off you and beat you with it for subjecting us to this tosh! Quick! Stay in your homes, unplug the TV and radio and lay low. Don’t expose yourself to C-ute, they are the definition of terrorism in a viral form!
I just vomited in my mouth…bleh!
First time reader….how appropriate a post given the blog name!
Nick Ramsay: The only good thing we can take from this is being safe in the knowledge that everyone will have forgotten about them in 6 months. I hope.
Chris B: Yeah, it’s only taken 114 posts but finally the name paid off! :D
Well….the dance is sorta catchy ;)
btw, if you don’t like these kids….
you’ll love PERFUME.
they’re actually a firm favourite of mine.
but they’re actually pretty good, unlike the 7 spawns of satan up there….

oh my i just died i promise i am going to stay with metal but PERFUME was good so it isn´t that bad c-ute was meant to be on your blog though
OK, Its not really any worse than what you would here on Disney Radio here in the US. Repetative, catchy, and will cause your ears to ring for hours. It’s basically the same dribble my 9 year old listens to. “Hannah Montana RULZ!”
That was bad indeed. I got 24 seconds into it before shutting it off, though I think I was looking at another monitor the whole time. Just remember a shitty baseline.
Nate: PERFUME just caused my brain to stop working. :( It’s still nothing compared to that CD we listened to before we left… 輪あああああすれええええないいいいよ。。。
kmcgra: I’ve heard of this Hannah Montana but I have yet to hear the music, but if it is as bad as you say, we are all truly doomed.
Ken: Not looking at the video itself was a strong move. I think it mentally disjoints you :(
C-ute 4ever
This blog is racist also..
‘This blog is racist’ – good work! Except you forgot to give any evidence! Oops!
Does their being part of H!P excuse them from not making mind-blowing music? They are idols after all~ and, I’ve never looked too much into Japanese music awards… is this by any chance one of those “popularity” awards? But then again, C-ute isn’t that popular compared to other bands… hmm… yep, Japan may as well be doomed XDDD
well, have you listened to the whole song?
i don’t think it’s really that bad.
true, it’s not too good and i don’t really like it. but they have some quite nice songs too. such as “everyday yeah! kataomoi” and “meguru koi no kisetsu”.
well, i’m just suggesting though. everyone’s taste is different. true?
well, I used to hate ooki na ai de motenashite when I first heard it, and now I’m a huge ºc-ute fan.
They have more mature songs, like namida no iro or tokkaiko junjou & maybe bye bye bye!. Their latest release SHOCK! is good too.
I know this is old, but maybe you are still interested
